It had been a few years since Hikaru had become full of determination to become a shinobi stronger than the Yonnin, he put his best effort into training to become the best he be. He spent hours each day training to control his chakra.

"Hello there child what are you doing?" A feminine voice asked from behind him.

He turned around to see a white fox walking towards him, causing him to stare at the fox curiously.

"I'm working on my chakra control," Hikaru stated closing his eyes and focusing his chakra."Who are you fox?" He asked.

"Ah, you don't recognize me, " She said laughing as she turned into a cloud of smoke soon revealing a familiar woman standing in the fox place.

"Lady Yuki you're a fox," Hikaru commented taking in the information that the kind lady he met was actually a fox.

Lady Yuki smiled softly at Hikaru."That correct what you witness is human transformation justu. It allows the foxes in my realm to transform into human form, but more common for the females to learn the just," She explained.

"Your realm?" He asked.

"Oh yes the realm of fox summoning," She said."That place and my friend I told you about was my summoner we went there all the time before she passed."

Hikaru tilted his head to the side."Then why are you here if you have no summoner don't you need to be summoned to be here?" He asked curiously.

"Normally my child, but technically I can transport myself here as well," Yuki stated."As for why I have been coming here because you remind me of her."

"Her?" Hikaru questioned. 

"My summoner she had such white hair like you as well a lovely personality," Yuki said smiling. 

"Really must be a shame an outcast like me reminds you of her," He commented. 

"Oh outcast," Yuki said."Weren't going to become the world's greatest shinboi?" She asked. 

"Of course and show this village I'm not some outcast," Hikaru said clenching his fist. 

"Hikaru, how old would you be now?" Yuki suddenly asked curiously. 

"I'm six years old," He replied. 

"So you're a year from entering the Ninja Academy," Yuki commented. 

"That's right Lady Yuki any reason you asked?"

Yuki stared deeply into Hikaru's eyes. 

"You are still quite young,  but you know if you truly want to become the greatest shinboi," Yuki said."I could train and teach you a few things nothing too grand,  but enough to impress your sensei in the academy and maybe the girls, " She said smiling. 

"What as if I want anything to do with girls, but I accept the training," Hikaru said. 

"Oh you're going to get fans probably even by guys given you got your mother's looks but your father's eyes and sharp mind," Yuki mumbled softly under her breath.

 "Huh?" Hikaru questioned. 

"Nothing important child let's begin training, " Yuki suddenly said changing the topic. 

"Ready."

"You seem to be working on chakra control so I want you to try climbing this tree using only your feet," Yuki said. 

"Repeat that?" He questioned. 

"Watch me closely," Yuki said walking towards the tree and began walking up it with only her feet. 

"So I'm supposed to focus charka in my feet to climb up," Hikaru stated."Which will help improve my charka control."

"Exactly you caught on to the purpose," Yuki said getting down and tossing Hikaru a kunai."Give it a go and mark your spot each time."

Hikaru nodded catching the kunai and walked towards the tree and took a deep breath closing his eyes in concentration. 

'Alright, I can do this.  I must be able to do it if I'm going to show the villagers I'm more than my father's past.' Hikaru thought walking forward towards the tree. 

He attempted to walk up but slipped back and quickly marked his spot before safely landing on his feet. 

"Give it another go child and don't get distracted, " Yuki said. 

"Right, " Hikaru said as he attempted the technique again. 

'You can do this remember your goal.' Hikaru thought feeling even more determined as he walked up the tree going a bit higher until he slipped back off again. 

"You expect to become a great shinobi like this falling back," Yuki said movkingHikaru'su lack of charka control."I thought you wanted villagers to respect you."

"I will become a strong shinboi surpassing the Yoninn and show the villagers I'm more than an outcast because of my father whoever he or what he did to be hated just know gossip," Hikaru said clenching his fist tighter."I'm not an outcast," He said rushing up the tree.

'Now that the spirit he has a strong will as both and definitely will one day prove himself to the village one day.' Yuki thought watching Hikaru making it up almost more than halfway until he slipped back off the tree.

"Now that is progress good job child," Yuki said walking over to him and placing a hand on his shoulder.

"You purposely insulted me," Hikaru stated.

"I did child knew it would light the fire within you," Yuki explained."How about we grab son lunch?"

"Hikaru!" A voice shouted throughout the village

"Ah, I was supposed to be eating dango with my guardian, and his girlfriend, but ran off because girlfriend disliked me," Hikaru said rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Oh child you're such trouble, but we can pretend I dragged you here," Yuki laughed.

Hikaru smiled he was greatful to meet someone like Yuki who saw him as more than an outcast because of his father's crimes.
